The Sun Cholera Mixture.

The New York World says that 100,000,000 acres of land have been stolen from the Government by corporations. “Oli’en- 've par-nanism'’ is raising the very d -euce with our radical friends. They don’t seem to catch on’ to the definition of the term either readily or kindly.— They can fee 1 , it s msibly when required to depart from places which shall know them no more, but they are unwilling to acknowledge it as correct. Radical postmasters and others who are trying to hang on Federal ofiices by the skin of their teeth will be glad to hear the stentorian voice of Hon. Frank Hatton, late Postmaster-General, which gives utterance to these words: “No republican of principle can hold office under a Democratic administration and preserve his political integrity.” Correct, but then that class don’t hold their political integrity at a very high figure—in fact never did.

“Jap Turpen,” m the Indianapolis Sentinel presents the following estimate of ‘civil service’ qualifications for office, as held and expressed by Secretary of Estate Bayard: “Entering the Secretary’s room, Mr. Bay?rd was talking very earnestly to a diplomatic looking individual whom I afterward learned was a Civil Service Commissioner. I heard Mr. Bayard say: “A man may possess all the knowledge of a cyclopedia and still be a fool.” As a matter of fact Mr. Bayard used the vigorous adjective which usually tells the kind of a fool a fellow is, but I never liked to see that in print. “A man,” he continued, “may have well earned a diploma and still be a knave; or a man may have scholarship and morals, and yet be incapacttated for duty, owing to a lack of harmony with the responsible and directing power.”

An exchange remarks: “Here are a few items that came over the wires a day or two ago that need reproduction occasionally. Secretary Manning says that the records of the New York Custom House on file at the Treasury Department show a gradual, but decided reduction in the expense of conducting the business of that office.' The pay roll for the month of October, 1884, amounted to The pay roll for the month of April, 1885, amounted to §l4-1,900. The pay roll for the month of May, 1885, just received at the Department, amounts to §227,000, or §17,900 less than for the month of April, and §29,000 less than for the month of October last. “These are the sort of arguments that will take the flap and flutter out of the bloody shirt that the opposition papers persist in flying.— When they say “copperhead,” the foregoing echoes back “business” and “economy in the public expenditures.”

—, The late Judge Black, of Pennsylvania, used the following language before the Electoral Commission in 1877 when he reminded them of their duty to the people, of the oath they had taken anc the retribution to come: “I, in common with the rest, am degraded and humiliated. This great nation still struggles for justice; a million majority of white people send up their cry, and a majority of more than a quarter million of all colors demand it. If this thing stands accepted, we can never expect such a thing as an honest ejection again. If you want to know who will be President by a future election, do not inquire how the people of the State are g >ing to vote. You need only to know what

kind of scoundrels constitute the returning board, and how much it will take to buy them. At present you have us down and under your feet. Well may you say, “we have made a covenant with deatk, and with hell are at agreement, when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall rot come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves.” But nevertheless wa’t a little while. The waters of truth will rise gradually, and slowly but surely, and then look out for the overflowing scourge “The refuge of lies will be swept away, and the hiding place of fals. hood shall be uncovered.” This mighty and puissant nation ill yet raise herself up like a strong man after sleep, and shake her invincible locks in a fashion you little think of now. Wait! retribution will come in due time. Justice travels with a leaden heel, but strikes with an iron hand. God’s mill grinds slo v but dreadfully fine. Wait till the flooc'-gate is lifted and a full head of water comes rushing on. Wait and you will see fine grinding then.” Yes, the fine grinding is now going on. Th ; receivers of stolen goods—the offices placed at the disposal of Hayes by the infamous finding of the Eight—and “offeasive” radical patisans generally are weeping, and wailing, and gnashing their teeth. Let the “fine grinding’’ process continue.

For more than forty years what is known as “The Sun cholera medicine” has stood the test of experience as the best remedy for looseness of the bowels ever yet devised. As was once vouched for by the New York Journal of Commerce, “no one who has this by him and takes it in time will ever have the cholera.” Even when no cholera is anticipated it is an excellent thing for the ordinary summer complaints, cholic, diarrhoea, dysentery, &c., and we have no hesitation in commending it. Here it is: T’ ke equal parts of tincture of cayenne, tincture of opium, tincture of rhubarb, essence of peppermint, and spirits of camphor. Mix well. Dose fifteen to thirty drops in a wine glass of water, according to age and violence of the attack. Repeat every fifteen or twenty minutes until relief is obtained.

H. S. Lobdell, of the firm of Gilbert & Lobdell, Troy, Ohio, is here again with his agents, Messrs. Arnold and Siler, to canvass this and Newton counties. — Now is the time for Farmers to set out new orchards, and rejuvenate the old, and for city residents to secure .choice fruits for their lots and handsome flowers, evergreens and shrubbery for theii’ lawns and yards, when they can procure them from a reliable firm that always keeps its promise and fills its contracts.

. Misses Manning, Endicott, Lamar, Garland, and the two younger daughters of Secret -ry Bayard are not yet in society, but wil; be debutantes next winter, and pending that time the veteran Ben Perley Poore ventures to call them “Cabinet rosebuds.” Captain Howard, whose bravery saved the day to tne Dominion troops in their recent fight with the Riel insurgents is a native of Connecticut. He served in the war of the Rebellion and also five years in the regular army, where he had considerable experience in Indian warfare. He is a brave, cool-headed soldier, thoroughly familiar with army life, and he is also a very skillful machinist, possessing a complete knowledge of the mechanism of a Gatling gun.
